2010 Hoboken Business Year in Review

Decided to publish the 2010 Edition of the Hoboken Business Year in Review a week earlier than usual this year. See the complete listing of new (and doomed) businesses after the jump.

2010 in Hoboken: More comings and goings!

Another exciting year in the Mile Square is about to end – and based on how things are turning out, I’m a bit apprehensive about the new year ahead! Before we see which businesses came and went – a few general Hoboken posts to look back on:

One story that has STOOD OUT in my mind as the major story of 2010 – is the campaign promises of our current Mayor Dawn Zimmer. Speech after speech was the “detailed plan” to reduce property taxes by 25% in the first year alone. Not only has that failed miserably – don’t be surprised to see even higher tax bills in 2011. When you make your campaign cornerstone about saving money for property owners – you should really be deeply disappointed about yourself!

And of course – Hoboken411 makes changes with some new features from time to time – including some new guest columns, new 60-second reviews, periodic police blotter updates, and trying to keep the directory of 2,000 Hoboken businesses current!

Below is a gallery of the images used for each “Week in Review” for 2010. Something I enjoy doing each week! And see the list of NEW and DOOMED businesses after the break!

Again! More new businesses added than removed!

Proof that Hoboken is developing possibly too fast. More new businesses came than left – for the third year in a row.

In 2009, we had around 30 doomed businesses, and about 60 new ones. While five new businesses didn’t make it through the year – We’ve had a net gain of over EIGHTY new businesses in Hoboken in the past three years combined!

Here’s an approximate running total for 2010:(feel free to let me know if I overlooked any in the comments section)

Unfortunately the available business locations expand faster than the population. Look on Washington Street and see the empty storefronts.[/quote]
